Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. CoreCivic, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of $250,000,000 in principal amount of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”). Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“Xxxxxxx Xxxxx”), X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and SunTrust Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. have agreed to act as representatives of the several Underwriters (in such capacity, the “Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes. The Notes will be guaranteed (collectively, the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each of the subsidiary guarantors named in Schedule B hereto (the “Notes Guarantors”). The Notes and the Guarantees are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of an indenture dated as of September 25, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by a second supplemental indenture to be dated as of October 13, 2017 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Notes Guarantors and the Trustee. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, is referred to herein as the “Indenture.”

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Notes Guarantors. The Company and each Notes Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, represent, warrant and covenant to each Underwriter as follows:

(a) Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-204234), which contains a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Securities. Such registration statement, including the exhibits and schedules thereto and any post-effective amendments thereto, at the time it became effective for purposes of

Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B and 430C (the “Rule 430 Information”) under the Securities Act, is called the “Registration Statement.” Any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that describes the Securities and the offering thereof that omits Rule 430 Information and is used prior to filing of the final prospectus relating to the Securities and the offering thereof is called, together with the Base Prospectus, a “preliminary prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities after the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (the “Execution Time”). If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to amend, amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed after the date of such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be.

(b) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statement became effective upon filing with the Commission under the Securities Act, and at the time of the filing of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, the Company met the requirements for the use of an “automatic shelf” registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or related to the offering have been instituted, are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are threatened by the Commission. No stop order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus has been issued by the Commission.

Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus when filed complied or will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and, if filed by electronic transmission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”) (except as may be permitted by Regulation S-T under the Securities Act), was or will be identical to the copy thereof delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities. Each preliminary prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective and at the date hereof, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “TIA”), and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, at the time of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and at the Closing Date (as defined herein), did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties set forth in the three immediately preceding sentences do not apply to (i) the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification of the Trustee under the TIA or (ii) statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof. There is no material contract or other material document required to be described in the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement by the Securities Act that has not been described or filed as required or incorporated therein by reference as permitted by the Securities Act.

The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package (as defined below), when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable; none of such documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and none of such documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable; none of such documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and none of such documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act, and (iv) at the Applicable Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iv)), the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act), which was filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof, and the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 as the form for the Registration Statement.

(d) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Base Prospectus as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement dated October 11, 2017, relating to the Securities and the offering thereof and filed by the Company with the Commission under Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on such date, and (ii) any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act), identified in Schedule C hereto, including the Final Term Sheet (as defined herein) that is identified in Schedule C hereto. As of 3:05 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of this Agreement (the “Applicable Time”), the Disclosure Package did not, and at the Closing Date, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof. No statement of material fact included in the Prospectus has been omitted from the Disclosure Package and no statement of material fact included in the Disclosure Package that is required to be included in the Prospectus has been omitted therefrom.

(e) Company Not Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement covering the offering of the Securities that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the Securities Act) and (ii) as of the Applicable Time (with such time being used as the determination time for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act);

(f) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company and the Notes Guarantors (including their agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) have not used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not use, authorize,

approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Company and the Notes Guarantors or their agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below) an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) other than (i) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act or Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (ii) the preliminary prospectus, (iii) the Prospectus, (iv) the documents listed on Schedule C hereto as constituting the Disclosure Package and (v) any electronic road show or other written communications, in each case, approved in writing in advance by the Representatives. Neither any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus nor the Final Term Sheet, as of its respective issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offering of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representatives as described in the next sentence, included or will include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with (within the meaning of Rule 433(c) of the Securities Act) the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement that has not been superseded or modified. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Representatives and has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. Each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, has been or will be (within the time period specified in Rule 433) filed in accordance with the Securities Act (to the extent required thereby) and, when taken together with the preliminary prospectus accompanying, or delivered prior to delivery of, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing three sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof.

(g) Accuracy of Statements in Prospectus. The statements in each of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (or the documents incorporated by reference therein) under the headings “Risk Factors – We are subject to legal proceedings associated with owning and managing correctional and detention facilities,” “Risk Factors –Though management believes CoreCivic’s pending DOJ matter to be without merit and immaterial, we are subject to legal proceedings associated with the DOJ,” “Description of Notes,” “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain ERISA Considerations,” and insofar as such statements purport to describe the provisions of laws, agreements, documents and proceedings referred to therein, are accurate in all material respects.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (i) is in violation of its charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents, (ii) is in default and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties or assets is subject or (iii) except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, is in violation of any law, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or court decree to which it or its property or assets may be subject or has failed to obtain any material license, permit, certificate, franchise or other governmental authorization or permit necessary to the ownership, leasing and/or operation of its properties or to the conduct of its business and has received no notice of any proceeding regarding the revocation or modification or non-compliance with any such license, permit, certificate, franchise or other governmental authorization or permit, except, with regard to (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, for such defaults, violations or failures that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) No Applicable Registration or Similar Rights. There are no contracts, agreements or understanding between the Company, any subsidiary of the Company and any person granting such person the right (other than rights that have been waived or satisfied) to require the Company or any subsidiary to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company or such subsidiary owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company or such subsidiary to have such securities registered for sale under the Registration Statement or included in the offering contemplated by this Agreement.

(w) No Loss or Change. Neither the Company, the Notes Guarantors nor any of their respective subsidiaries has sustained, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, in each case otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and except where such loss or interference would not have a Material Adverse Effect; neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered into, since the date of the last audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any transaction or agreement that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, in each case other than as set forth or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and since such date, there has not been any change in the capitalization (other than with respect to the Company’s quarterly cash dividends of $0.42 per common share and stock-based compensation awards in the ordinary course of business) or long-term debt (other than drawings under, and paydowns of, the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 6, 2012, including all amendments and supplements thereto and incremental term loans thereunder (the “Credit Agreement”) in the ordinary course of business or as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus) of the Company, the Notes Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries or any change or development in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, prospects, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company, the Notes Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(x) Financial Information. The historical consolidated financial statements (including the related notes and supporting schedules) included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and Regulation S-X under the Securities Act applicable to registration statements on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as applicable, and present fairly, in all material respects, the

No other financial statements or supporting schedules of the Company and its subsidiaries are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. The financial data set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Selected Historical Financial Data,” and the column labeled “Actual” under the caption “Capitalization” fairly present the information set forth therein as of the date referenced therein on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(dd) Annual Report. There are no contracts or other documents that as of the filing date of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 would be required to be filed as exhibits to a Company registration statement pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K that were not so filed as of February 23, 2017.

(ee) Labor Matters. No labor disturbance by the employees of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company and the Notes Guarantors, is imminent which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 6. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 5 or 10 hereof, or if the sale to the Underwriters of the Notes on the Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Notes Guarantor to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company and the Notes Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Representatives and the other Underwriters (or such underwriters as have terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves), upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Representatives and the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Notes, including but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company and the Notes Guarantors shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.

SECTION 7. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company and each of the Notes Guarantors agree, joint and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter, its directors, affiliates, officers, employees, agents or such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A, Rule 430B or Rule 430C under the Securities Act, or caused by any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the information contained in the Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and to reimburse each Underwriter, its directors, affiliates, officers, employees, agents and each such controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter, or its officers, affiliates, directors, employees and agents or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representatives consists of the information described as such in (b) of this Section 7. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, the Notes Guarantors and their respective Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Notes Guarantors, each of their directors, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or one of the Notes Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which either the Company or any Notes Guarantor, or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C under the Securities Act, or caused by any omission or alleged omission

therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the information contained in the Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the information contained in the Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company and the Notes Guarantors, or any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company and each of the Notes Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the information contained in the Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Short Positions” in the Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 7(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent that it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any liability other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (who shall not, without the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) to represent the indemnified party and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the named parties (including any impleaded parties) in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action, (ii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available

to the indemnified party and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iv) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed. It is understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, employees, agents, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 7 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 7(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any

other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company and the Notes Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 7(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 8; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 7(c) for purposes of indemnification.

The Company, the Note Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 8, each director, officer, affiliate, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director and officer of the Company and the Notes Guarantors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Notes Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Notes Guarantors.

The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

SECTION 9. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 11 through 17 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 9. Any action taken under this Section 9 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

SECTION 10. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading in any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or limited on any exchange or the over-the-counter market or by the Commission, or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NYSE Amex or the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum prices shall have been established on any of such stock exchanges or markets by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, in each case, either within or outside the United States or any material adverse change or material disruption in economic conditions of the United States (it being understood that any such change or disruption shall be relative to such conditions in effect on the date hereof), that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material

and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering, sale or delivery of the Securities being delivered on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus or (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives there shall have occurred a Material Adverse Effect. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company and the Notes Guarantors to any Underwriter, except that the Company and the Notes Guarantors shall be obligated jointly and severally to reimburse the expenses of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof or (b) any Underwriter to the Company or the Notes Guarantors.

SECTION 11. No Agency or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Company and the Note Guarantors each acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company and the Note Guarantors with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, the Note Guarantors or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company, the Note Guarantors or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Notes Guarantors shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or any Note Guarantor with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the Note Guarantors, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company or any Note Guarantor.

SECTION 12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, rights of contributions, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Note Guarantors, their respective officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement (i) will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any (A) investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the affiliates, directors, officers or employees of, or any controlling person referred to in Section 7 hereof of, any Underwriter, or the Company, any Note Guarantor, or the affiliates, directors, officers or employees of, or any controlling person referred to in Section 7 hereof of, the Company or any Note Guarantor, as the case may be, or (B) acceptance of the Securities and payment for them hereunder and (ii) will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 13. Authority of the Representatives. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall be binding upon the Underwriters.

SECTION 16. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof.
